The clutch. I was driving down the freeway and the clutch went out. Yes, Champion Jeep Dodge confirm the clutch system went out. Yes, I was told they do not cover the clutch. There was no one he signed symptoms or problems. I did take it back to AutoNation on 2 other occasion complaining about the brakes and the emergency. I have had this vehicle less than 7 months and had nothing but problems. I paid Auto Nation $6,500 for this Lemon vehicle & purchase the extend warranty plus, because I was told if anything breaks down with this vehicle, I would be covered bumper to bumper on this vehicle within the 2-year time period, under this extended warranty plus. Todd told me It would cover everything under the warranty and specifically the clutch, transmission, motor & electronics. My brother asked Todd several times precisely about the clutch and was told yes with the extended warranty plus, it covers everything major on this vehicle. With the Extended Warranties Plus, You ARE COVERED BUMPER to BUMPER, this is the most comprehensive coverage. NOW, I am asking you to put me in another vehicle until you get this figured out. I am requesting Auto Nation to get me in another vehicle, because I believe this is a LEMON vehicle and I am tired of all the problems with this truck. If you can assure me that Y'all is going to handle this ongoing problem with my Jeep. This Jeep was at Delta World Tire June 13 – 19 and then I transferred to Champion Chrysler Dodge Jeep on the 19th of June waiting for approval. Auto Nation extended warranty denied claim on vehicle (Denial Reason for the Case [XXX]). Delta World tire was the Preferred shop but was behind in workload and short on mechanics. So, I had to tow it to Champion Jeep Dodge. So please let me know how much longer it is going to take to decide what you all going to do about the LEMON vehicle you sold me and when to come over to Mobile and pick up another vehicle. I Anticipate and answer immediately! I have a letter I wrote INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF IN

I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangle that has multiple airbag issues and 17 yr that is Autistic driving it. I request proof that recalled have been done by Jeep and was told we have no open recalls but they are unable to prove they even looked at the truck. What is frightening is the airbag light and seat belt light have come on and we have checked there is no record of any recalls being done. The truck was built on the day, date, location of where the recalls are from in the same building time. This seems shady that not myself or out dealer can acquire proof these this have been done. I think it is very conserving that a car company can claim a recall and decide that only 5,300 of 10,000 Jeeps made do not apply to a recall. Then let’s add a manufacturer can not prove any recalls have been done at all and I have a full history report never one mention but yet there are no recalls. This is dangerous as an airbag can be a a Grenade if it deploys. I think this is something that should not be hidden from consumers and manufacturers should have to supply this information of proof. Also we should know why only 1 car is not recalled while every other one is recalled. I would like your involvement is getting our family recall information. To ensure my child will not be killed if he is in accident. We are NOT looking for something free we are looking for proof the manufacturer is doing what they should be.

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS DEFECTIVE. GETS STUCK WHEN TRYING TO PULL IT OUT. TAKES A FEW TRIES TO PULL IT OUT. SOMETIMES IT WONT UNLOCK. VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. JEEP IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN TRYING TO USE THE SEATBELT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST YEAR OR TWO. I PAID $700.00 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE A NEW SEAT BELT INSTALLED TODAY AT A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE SEATBELT SHOULD BE WARRANTIED FOR LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. JEEP CHRYSLER HAS DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REPAIR. THE SEATBELT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NOT A LUXURY ITEM.

THE CLOCKSPRING ON MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER (LEFT HANDED DRIVE) HAS FAILED CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO BECOME DYSFUNCTIONAL AND AIRBAG LIGHT TO ENGAGE. FCA HAS RECALLED RIGHT HANDED DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS 2007-2012 UNDER THE ATTACHED RECALL NOTIFICATION. FCA HAS ALSO RECALLED 2007 LHD JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THESE RECALLS WAS DETERMINED TO BE DUST ACCUMULATION IN THE GREASE OF THE CLOCKSPRING AS SEEN IN THE ATTACHED RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE CLOCKSPRING PART IN BOTH LHD AND RHD VARIATIONS OF THIS MODEL JEEP WRANGLER INCLUDE A SIMILAR, IF NOT THE SAME, CLOCKSPRING PART. THE AMOUNT OF DUST THAT A JEEP WRANGLER IS SUBJECT TO DOES NOT CORRELATE TO THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CLOCKSPRING. I WOULD SUSPECT THAT A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAT 70,000 MILES AND 5 YEARS OF USE SHOULD NOT HAVE AIRBAG FAILURE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHICH THEN INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT THE FCA JEEP WARRANTY/RECALL 800 NUMBER IN ADDITION TO THE FCA HEADQUARTER'S 800 NUMBER. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE FCA HEADQUARTERS HOTLINE I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY LHD 2011 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE REPAIR WAS TO BE MADE FROM OUT OF MY POCKET. AS OF JUNE 2015 THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE FOR LHD JEEP WRANGLERS AS SEEN IN THE LINK BELOW.
